Hi to Marcia_pa. Like you I am new to this forum and I have already gotten a lot of useful information. While I an not an expert I have had good luck with Phals, including way too many rescues. Mayres is right on the money with the suggestion that you take the orchids out of their current potting medium and repot them. Actually, the sooner the better. To me, one of the fastest ways to kill these fairly easy to grow orchids is too much water. By that I mean too much water STAYING around their roots. I am the classic overwaterer, because I have a tendency to "fuss" over my orchids. Becuase of this unfortunate tendency of mine I have always planted my Phals in the fairly course bark mixes and have had good luck. I also have discovered an east window is the Phals favorite place to grow. LLW |
